A first-year student of the journalism and media studies department of Jahangirnagar University is on life support after being hit by a bike and dragged under the bike on campus.
The incident took place near Maulana Bhasani Hall at 7:30 pm on Thursday.
The victim Jahid was going to "Gerua" near campus. The bike hit him from behind and dragged him several yards. Ferdous Mahamud Neon of the philosophy department was driving the bike.
Some of Jahid's friends and other students took him to the university medical centre and then to Enam Medical College Hospital.
